Who's the Best Santa? A Look at Holiday Helpers

When the holiday season rolls around, hospitals often bring in Santa Claus to spread cheer. But have you ever wondered who gets to play Santa? It turns out, there's a bit of a mystery around how this decision is made. Some say surgical specialists are the go-to Santas. Why? Well, people assume they have a strong grip, which is important for carrying that heavy sack of gifts. But is grip strength really the key factor? Let's think about this. Being Santa isn't just about strength. It's also about patience, kindness, and making kids feel special. So, maybe we should be looking at more than just who has the strongest grip. Plus, not all surgical specialists have the best people skills. And not all other specialists are weak. So, maybe it's time to rethink who gets to play Santa. What do you think? Should hospitals focus on more than just grip strength when choosing their Santa? Maybe it's time for a change.
